[QUOTE="VT-Ten, post: 1803196, member: 12182"] B16A/B0B 2 liter hybird VTEC can be pretty fast, but also can be very very unreliable if the engine is not setup properly. Items like block guard, bigger cooling system, lower temp termostat, proper fueling, and sometimes, oil coolers deem necessary if one were to build a powerful 2 liter hybrid. The rule of thumb, dissipate as much heat as possible. Max rev will need to be lowered to maintain a reliable drive. The reason is simple; undersquare engines are not rev-happy engines. provided if both the cars are healthy, it will be a close fight. Either sides has a chance to win (if not, why ask a b8 to play? better play with kancil, right?). What's more important is off the line acceleration. turbocharged cars have greater torque, which also off the line will be quite tricky. Unless do like our taiko tkk, pour in 20 bucks of fuel, and practise and practise and practise launching skill :retarded:. Experienced vtec boys can launch their cars at as high as 7000rpm (heck, that's already rev cut for b8s). Jez my 2 cents. Anyways, good luck. Let us know the result, ya? Cheers. [/QUOTE]
